Touched By All Creatures by Gay Balliet This is the story of Gay Balliet and Edgar, her veterinarian husband, who tend the health of strange and delightful barn animals, buffaloes, baboons and other creatures large and small in the historically rich and colorful Pennsylvania Dutch Country. They share many unforgettable situations, characters and experiences of courage, warmth and hilarity with both their animal and human friends. Among them: Tonto, an impish llama and his sheep friends; Buster, a lame bull who leads chase through woods and pond; and Lowell, the existential pig who performs pirouettes to the command "Baryshnikov." Theirs is a timeless world that retains innocence and an appreciation of nature—a world they now share with animal lovers everywhere. "This eminently readable addition to the body of veterinary tales will be welcomed by everyone who enjoyed James Herriot's efforts. This one will be very popular!" — Booklist "The
wonder of animals and the earthy, humane details of doctoring them
shines through." "Poignant
and delightful." "Every
bit as eccentric, lovable and heart-tugging as [James Herriot's]
Yorkshire chronicles." "Heartwarming,
heroic and funny." "Balliet
is a worthy successor to James Herriot." A New
Horizon Press Release << Previous Book >> See Other Animal Rights Books |
